Don’t call him a “rapper” without calling him a “worshipper” first. That’s how Nashville rapper Royalty Jackson (a.k.a. Eric D. Jackson, Jr.) describes himself: a Worshipper using his gifts and talents to bring God’s kingdom to earth. “My purpose is all about renewing how people view worship,” he said. “I’m more than a rapper. It’s more than just a song.”
Royalty Jackson’s The Concert EP is set for worldwide release on ITunes in June 2011. He just signed with 22Visionz Records in 2011 as the first rapper on the label. “What made Royalty Jackson was his passion for the music and for drawing people closer to the heart of God,” said 22Visionz CEO and national recording artist T-Ran Gilbert.
The Concert EP boasts a unique blend of Rap, Pop and Alternative Rock that sets him apart from other hip hop artists. Royalty Jackson is undeniably eclectic and urbane, with influences as diverse Switchfoot, Coldplay and Da’ T.R.U.T.H.
Royalty Jackson grew up listening to the Contemporary Christian music that his parents sang as Praise & Worship leaders. He began penning lyrics by the time he was 12, but found his passion for rap and hip hop during his early years at Berea College in Kentucky. Since then, he has shared the stage with FLAME, Shonlock, K-Drama, Leon Timbo and Andale. In addition to performances in his hometown, he has performed in Nashville, Cincinnati and Lexington. He has performances slated this year on two hip hop-laced tours spanning the East coast (T-Ran Gilbert’s L.A.N.D. Tour and Lil Jo’s Journey Tour).
